How to Make Fall Harvest Fruit Salad
- Make your dressing first
- Combine ingredients together in a small sauce pan, and heat over low-medium heat until slow boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer 3-4 minutes, stirring every minute or so
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer, and set aside to cool
- Toast pecans at 350 for 6-8 minutes, until you can start them
- Core and dice apples, and toss them in lemon juice to prevent them from brownies
- Add grapes, green apples, red apples, peeled orange slices, raisins, and toasted pecans to a serving bowl
- Toss with cooled dressing, and enjoy!
- Best if used within 1-2 days
- Keep leftovers stored in the fridge
I love how easy it to just whisk the ingredients together, strain, and drizzle!
Variations
- Use dried cranberries in place of raisins
- Add pomegranate seeds and/or pumpkin seeds for more of a fall touch
